What winds conveyed this hurry to the grizzled mender of roads , already at work on the hill - top beyond the village , with his day s dinner not much to carry lying in a bundle that it was worth no crow s while to peck at , on a heap of stones 是什么风使那头发灰白的补路工这么匆忙？他已在村外的坡顶上开始了工作，他那没多少分量的午餐包放在一堆石头上，连母牛也不愿碰它一碰。
